A friend (who is not into woodworking) recently gave me a wooden plane that he received as a sort of gag gift. I've done some searching to try to identify it but without much success. Any info as to the origin and maker of this tool would be greatly appreciated as I don't know jack about wooden planes. Also, any pointers or links to maintenance procedures would be great. Finally, the front tote (handle?) slides into a dovetail on the body but it's a bit loose. I can see anything other than the dovetail holding it in place. Any tips to tighten this up are also welcome. Until taking the photos I had not noticed it was curved.

TIA and apologies if this info is already blatantly obvious somewhere else on this site. There is so much here it's a bit overwhelming at times.
